hi all
just discovered that the car I bought with the lovely aftermarket 22" rims have standard tyres fitted. With third row seating there is no spare , jack etc. Can anyone offer any advice on what size of space saver to get. I am going to have to carry it in the boot. I'm really thrilled about it ....

You can buy the proper wheel from BMW. There's a kit available....it's just you can't put it under the floor.
The spare is optional even on the 5-seater. With RFTs BMW think you'll have no use for it. It isn't a 22" either...but then only the aftermarket wheels are. It's thinner and 50mph/80kph limited.

Just buy the kit from BMW - I wouldn't trust the repair kits personally
This is what you get :
